Your tent disaster was worth it; strong drawing - pencil? Incidentally, you say drawing is central - do you ever use carbon pencil? Seems to me your technique would be highly compatible with it.

Thanks. Yes, sorry, this is a pencil drawing. I often use a mechanical pencil with a soft lead, but love really going to town with charcoal and chalk, pen, or aquarelle.

Drawing is central to my work, and I remember obtaining permission to sleep in a little tent across the field so that I could catch early morning light and shadow at sunrise for maximum effect in my drawing. It wasn't funny when my tent blew away in the middle of the night, though! I went shopping next day and the local ironmonger recommended special ridged 'Lake District' tent pegs!
